My Music.....

I know there are a few of you that like listening to my playlist so FYI, I added a couple of new songs to the bottom of the list. One is called "How Beautiful", which just so happens to be one of the songs that the choir I am in is singing in the concert. It was written by the woman singing it, Twila Paris. You cant imagine just "How Beautiful" it sounds being sung by 354 women. It is overwhelming. You must come to the concert if only to hear this song....well, Ok ALL the songs are worth it. I just happen to LOVE this one.

The other song is the "Dark Waltz" which you will recognize if you were as obsessed with So You Think You Can Dance as I was/am. The two things I love more than anything in this world are Music & Dance. When I am participating in either one of them in ANY form, I feel whole. This may sound strange, but some of you will understand fully what I am talking about. Both art forms can and do bring me to tears frequently. And, when the two are combined such as this particular song was with a beautiful dance like the waltz....well, its just crazy how it moves me. It is one of few regrets I have in this life that I did not more fully participate in these 2 art forms. That I am not exceptionally talented at either eats at me sometimes. But, I can and will continue to appreciate them to the fullest. Of course I have other playlists that have more modern, "hip" (thanks dad) music...but lately I just feel the need for quiet and so I will stick to this playlist for now. Enjoy.
